[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | GNUTLS error at the end of connection (#1739)

[Read-only notification of GnuTLS library development activities]

Simon Josefsson commented on a discussion: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/1739#note_2764724851


I think it is technically impossible to tell those two situations apart, and that is also why the specification mandates that the alert has to be sent, so that recipient knows it has reached EOF.  Some TLS implementations historically just ignored this error case, but that is a security problem.  How does OpenSSL behave in this situation?  Or some other TLS library.
